<Anchor> The



ruling and opposition parties have started to clash again over the bill to abolish the prosecution's investigative powers.

When the people's power demanded that the agreed arbitration plan be discussed again, the Democratic Party protested and convened a second lieutenant in the Judiciary Committee last night (25th) to deliberate on the bill based on the arbitration plan by the Speaker of the National Assembly.

The 1st subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee of the National Assembly, held at about 9:30 last night, continued the deliberation of the so-called 'examination and overhaul' bill until 11:30, close to midnight.



The two-hour meeting was attended by not only the Democratic Party but also members of the People's Power, and deliberation was conducted based on the arbitration plan proposed by National Assembly Speaker Park Byeong-seok last week.



[Park Jumin / Democratic Party Judiciary Committee Secretary: I would like to say that because there are so many opinions of lawmakers, we did not finish the deliberation and only reviewed half of them.

We decided to hold another meeting tomorrow to deliberate.]



No conclusion has been reached regarding the reconsideration of the mediation proposal raised by the People's Power.

[Yoo Sang-beom/Secretary of the People's Power Judiciary



Committee: (During the arbitration plan) About half of us reviewed and expressed our opinions, so we ended up expressing our opinions without making a separate conclusion.]



It is scheduled to resume.



The Democratic Party plans to finish deliberation on the law by today and send it to the plenary meeting of the Judiciary Committee tomorrow.



The arbitration proposal must be finalized at the plenary session within this week before it can be submitted to the Moon Jae-in administration's final cabinet meeting scheduled for the 3rd of next month.



Due to the dramatic agreement last week, the Judiciary Committee was also expected to deliberate on the bill without any disagreement, but the power of the people's leadership took out a card to review the arbitration plan on the grounds of public opposition, and the current rapidly cooled.



Yesterday afternoon, the ruling and opposition party leaders met and exchanged opinions, but failed to find a point of contact, and the Democratic Party has declared its policy that it will not be able to deal with it alone.
